create custom column using one column as a list

I have a table with two columns Submitter email and Manager email.  How would I create a custom column which will display TRUE if the submitter email is found anywhere in the Manager email.   

as shown below.  The submitter email could be anywhere in the Manager email or not at all.

    Hello there Anonymous ! You can check if this works for you:

    Leader of Leader =
VAR _sub =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( [submitter email] )
VAR _list =
    DISTINCT ( [Manager email] )
RETURN
    IF ( _sub IN _list, TRUE (), FALSE () )

    Hope this answer solves your problem!

    In Power Query (Transform data) paste the below code into the 'Advanced Editor' of a blank query.

    let
  Source = Table.FromRows(
    Json.Document(
      Binary.Decompress(
        Binary.FromText(
          "i45WSs1NzMxRMFTSgbIslGJ1YKJGcFFLJFFjBbiwIZKwCVzUSCk2FgA=",
          BinaryEncoding.Base64
        ),
        Compression.Deflate
      )
    ),
    let
      _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true])
    in
      type table [#"submitter email" = _t, #"Manager email" = _t]
  ),
  #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(
    Source,
    {{"submitter email", type text}, {"Manager email", type text}}
  ),
  list = #"Changed Type"[Manager email],
  Custom1 = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "custom", each List.Contains(list, [submitter email]))
in
  Custom1

    Hope this helps.

      I feel like I am missing something here. Like identifying the table I am pulling the new columns from. 

      so how do I make this happen from an existing table in my report.  

      For me the data is in the All Employee Table

        Can you show me the structure of the table in your report (without any sensitive data)?

        And paste your existing Power Query code for that query?

        I don't quite follow what you mean.

    hi 
    you can also create a calculated column 

    Column = IF(Sheet2[submitter email] in VALUES(Sheet2[Manager email]),TRUE(),FALSE())
     
    if this post helps, accept this as a solution
